East Village housing stock
The East Village's residential housing stock dates primarily from 1840 to 1910, dominated by:
- Pre-law and old-law tenements — five or six-story brick buildings, often with elaborate cornices and pressed-brick ornament.
- Mid-19th-century row houses on certain streets.
- Some early-20th-century apartment buildings.
Common deterioration patterns in East Village
East Village restoration commonly involves:
- Tenement cornice work — these large sheet-metal cornices are major projects in their own right and frequently overdue for serious restoration.
- Brick repointing on facades that are 100+ years old.
- Pressed-brick and terra cotta ornament repair.
- FISP work on the larger buildings.
Landmark & LPC status
The East Village does not have a comprehensive residential LPC historic district, though some individual buildings are landmarked. Most restoration work proceeds without LPC review.
Serving East Village
East Village is well within our active service area, and we welcome new projects here. While our recent project history has been concentrated in nearby neighborhoods, the housing stock in East Village is closely related — and our knowledge of the materials, restoration techniques, and LPC processes carries over directly.
If you are the first East Village project we work on, you will get the same attention, the same on-site supervision, and the same standards of work we bring to every facade in Brooklyn or Manhattan.
